This guy... what on earth is he trying to do!
The light sound of the small object falling to the ground created ripples in Kiana's heart.
She watched with wide eyes as that guy ducked his upper body under the table, a faint, mischievous smile on his face.
She hadn't eaten pork, but she'd seen pigs run.
Isn't this a classic scene from those peach-scented romance novels for girls, where some indescribable act is performed under the table?
A pink light flickered on her lower abdomen, and a bewitching, watery sheen appeared in her azure eyes.
Shame, anger, and urgency!
This damn Blondie, he doesn't even care about the setting, only thinking about the flesh on his own body.
Bronya was right beside her, yet this guy was still planning to make a move on her!
He deserves divine punishment!
But right now, this guy had only given her a suggestive look. Kiana couldn't possibly convict him based on a single glance.
To stop him, she needed a simple and quick method.
"Take that, you lecher!"
Cursing inwardly, Kiana lifted her strong, nimble right foot and unhesitatingly kicked towards the young Brian.
She controlled the force well; it would only embarrass him, not cause any real harm.
After all, this guy had solved the threat of the Herrscher of the Void for her, so he had rendered some service to the ultimate, invincible, super-duper cute Miss Kiana Kaslana.
However, merits and demerits do not cancel each other out.
Even if this guy had dealt with the Herrscher of the Void for her, it didn't mean he could lust after her body.
Lift leg.
One kick.
Caught!
Kiana: "..."
Oh no, she had a bad feeling about this.
As expected.
The man raised his upper body from the other side of the table, a half-smile on his handsome face.
Kiana's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't get her right foot back from his grasp no matter what.
She could only glare at the young Brian, her eyes blazing with fury.
It was as if she had taken a kick-your-legs-and-stare-blankly pill!
Bronya, at the side, seeing this scene, quickly figured out most of what was happening based on her years of experience in the world of assassins.
These two were treating her as part of their play, fooling around under the table.
If it were anyone else, Bronya would have definitely embarrassed them.
But one of them was the Inner World Protagonist who could help her save her sister... forget it, she'd just obediently be a part of this play.
For the sake of the cutest sister in the world, Seele Vollerei, Bronya could do anything!
Opening her mouth, Bronya immediately started scolding Kiana: "Kiana, you're taking so long on even such a simple problem?"
"Huh?"
Kiana, whose attention was entirely on her foot, was completely bewildered.
It wasn't that she couldn't do it, it was that she had absolutely no time to do it right now!
She immediately retorted: "Bronya, it's not that I can't, it's that that guy is..."
"Ngh~~"
Kiana couldn't help but let out a moan.
"..."
Damn bastard!
She almost crushed the pen in her hand.
Bronya asked knowingly: "What? Are you trying to find an excuse to go out and play?"
This is how bad students are made.
They spend three hours writing ten words, and then run out to play at the first opportunity.
Kiana's behavior was even worse than such bad kids; once she slipped out, she would disappear completely.
If it weren't for the possibility of becoming a D-rank General Affairs Valkyrie who couldn't go to the battlefield, she wouldn't be sitting here obediently accepting the unacceptable.
"Bronya..."
Kiana felt a little wronged. She even felt that this Russian loli was colluding with that pervert to bully her.
"Kiana, the exams are not far off. If you can't even pass the first one, how can anyone believe you can protect everyone on the battlefield?"
The snow-haired girl was at a loss for words: "..."
That's right, with her meager Dropout who didn't complete nine-year compulsory education-level knowledge, how could she possibly make everyone believe she was a reliable Valkyrie?
But!
That wasn't the key issue right now!
"But that guy... ngh~~"
A long nasal sound escaped her. The girl's eyes suddenly widened, filled with a soft, watery light.
This guy... he ambushed her!
And this stimulating feeling... why was it so intense?
After the Herrscher of the Void had gotten wet, she had also tried to stimulate her own tender feet, but nothing happened except for some tingling sensations.
Could it be that she had a very lewd constitution, that once caught by the opposite sex, she would become completely uncontrollable?
Bronya: "Kiana, what's wrong?"
The snow-haired girl didn't answer immediately, instead glaring daggers at the man on the other side of the table, grinding her teeth.
She wanted to expose all of this, but every time she had this thought, the guy would stimulate her.
How utterly hateful!
Warning the young Brian with her eyes, Kiana turned her head and forced a smile at Bronya: "It's nothing, I just thought of something else."
Bronya looked straight ahead: "Don't get distracted. You should focus on your tutoring now."
It was just a tutoring play. For her, the wolf queen from the Siberian snowfields, it was a piece of cake.
During her time as an assassin, she had witnessed more strange plays than the number of words Kiana knew. She had even seen two idiots who played around in the snow and ice until they both froze solid.
This level of play was nothing. As long as that guy didn't try to play with her, Bronya could accept anything.
Being a part of the play was simple. She just had to act like the cuckolded party in a Far East tokusatsu show and pretend to be asleep.
Bronya began to focus on her game.
She didn't know anything!
The snow-haired girl's large, watery eyes were filled with a charming softness, yet also a strong sense of shame and anger.
The pen in her hand was about to be crushed, and she could barely hold back from crying out under that guy's torment.
She had wanted to get Bronya's attention, to have her rescue her from this misery.
But whenever she opened her mouth, strange sounds would come out, and her body, which could usually kill a cow with one punch, now felt completely weak.
Even kicking this guy to death was now impossible.
The nerve impulses made Kiana feel like she couldn't stop, wanting to break free but powerless to do so.
She used all her strength to bump Bronya's shoulder, but received no useful response.
What to do? Was she really going to let this guy do whatever he wanted to her?
Kiana glared fiercely at the guy who was getting more and more out of hand, wishing she could stomp her tender feet on his face and smash that detestable face to pieces!
But the young Brian just responded with a sunny smile.
He turned to Bronya: "Bronya, have you heard from your adoptive mother recently?"
Business on top, pleasure on the bottom.
The young Brian was good at balancing work and life.
The Russian loli, engrossed in her game, looked up, her expression extremely calm: "No definite news, but the Bronya is certain she should still be alive right now."
"..."
That was somewhat surprising.
As the wielder of the Key of Corruption, Brian, who had once felt its power with his own body, knew better than anyone how vicious the Key of Corruption was.
The raw materials for the Divine Keys were Soulium, one of the highest technological achievements of the Previous Era, and the power of a Herrscher.
Although the former had 'steel' in its name, its essence was a supercomputer with extremely small components.
The power of the Herrscher of Corruption happened to be unrivaled in the information domain, making it the nemesis of this type of computer. Otherwise, its power would not have remained unseized for a full fifty thousand years.
Furthermore, the power of the Herrscher of Corruption was, as its codename suggested, filled with particularity.
Wherever Honkai energy reached, the Herrscher of Corruption's tentacles extended.
Cocolia was infected by the Honkai energy of the Key of Corruption; as an ordinary person, it was almost impossible for her to survive.
Could it be...
"..."
A guess popped into the man's head.
The snow-haired girl seized the opportunity and forcefully broke free from his grasp.
Looking up, Kiana glared with her big, beautiful eyes, her neat teeth grinding together audibly.
It was time... to make this Blondie pay for his actions!
"Bronya, you go out for a moment!"
Kiana, gritting her teeth, put on her shoes and socks, tossed aside the homework that had been troubling her all day, and began to evacuate her friend.
Looking at Kiana, then at the Inner World Protagonist.
Bronya was certain that these two wouldn't cause a fatality within the next 10 months, so she followed her instincts and made a cowardly choice: "The Bronya will leave first. The rest of the time is for you two to cultivate your relationship."
"I will. I will cultivate my relationship with this guy properly!"
Kiana responded indifferently, her face murderous.
Bronya, who had silently finished recording, walked out of the room, closed the door, and sat down like a duck right outside.
Listening to the harmonious, loving, yet chaotic sounds from inside, she mused on the rough-and-tumble way young people cultivate their relationships: "It's great to be young."
One loli guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot get through.
As long as she stood guard here, that big idiot Kiana wouldn't even think of escaping through the door behind her.
Metal Gear Bronya logged into her game once again.
After an unknown amount of time, Kiana, disheveled as if she had just gone through a major battle, opened the door and sat down next to Bronya in a W-sit.
"Satisfied!"
"You had fun with him?"
The cute Russian loli's nose twitched slightly, but she didn't smell anything strange on Kiana.
Good, this white-haired fluffball may have designs on Sister Mei's bed, but she hadn't yet made the decision to create a life.
The Inner World Protagonist inside looked a bit battered, but he should be fine, at most just a few torn clothes.
However...
Kiana: "You say it as if I have some kind of improper relationship with that guy."
She rolled her eyes, a look of pure satisfaction on her face.
Bronya pouted and delivered the deepest cut in the most nonchalant tone: "Then why didn't you call me for help when you were being played with by that guy just now?"
"I thought you were enjoying it."
On the surface, they, who had not been corrupted by the Inner World Protagonist, were comrades on the same front.
Although their life goals were different, they were now huddling together for warmth, resisting the threat of the Inner World Protagonist.
Awkwardness filled the air. Kiana didn't know how to explain: "Well... I don't know why, I just couldn't make a sound."
She clearly wanted to call for help, but all that came out of her mouth were ambiguous sounds.
Kiana almost thought she was broken, that she had turned into something strange.
But fortunately, the fist-to-flesh exchange with Blondie just now confirmed that her body was still normal.
For now.
Probably, maybe, perhaps...
Seeing this, Bronya didn't say much more, just earnestly advised her friend: "Kiana, even though only the three of us know about what happened today."
"But you know that your silly appearance can never hide things."
A lump formed in Kiana's throat; she had a bad feeling.
"Although Sister Mei treats you as her best friend, cooks for you every day, and even accepted the Honeysuckle Crest for you."
"But that doesn't mean she can accept you interfering in her relationship."
Saying is one thing, doing is another.
Bronya knew Raiden Mei's thoughts very well, so she naturally knew in what position Raiden Mei wanted Kiana to get a bed in her room.
A concubine is fine, an equal wife... needs consideration.
In short, Bronya saw no problem in making Kiana prepare for the worst.
"If Sister Mei finds out about what happened today..."
"Will she break up with that guy inside?"
Kiana was not just pretty, her thoughts were pretty too.
"No! Your doghouse will be gone!"
Raiden Mei's spatula was already thirsty for action!
"Then forget it. There's no point if he and Mei don't break up."
In an instant, Kiana's enthusiasm waned.
If it could make Raiden Mei see this bad guy's true colors, Kiana would be willing to sacrifice a little of her charms.
After all, there's no investment without cost. Things like pies falling from the sky only happen in dreams.
As the old saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.
To make Raiden Mei see this guy's true colors, how could she, a Valkyrie attempting such a heterodox rebellion, not make a small sacrifice?
"..."
Her thoughts became clearer and clearer, and Kiana's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Her extraordinary Kaslana wisdom told her that perhaps this method could really make Raiden Mei see Blondie's true colors and return to her embrace.
But if she wanted to put this plan into action...
Kiana grabbed Bronya's hands: "Bronya, help me! This is a once-in-a-lifetime request!"
"..."
What the hell, a once-in-a-lifetime request.
Despite this, Bronya had no intention of refusing.
"Kiana, you'd better think this through. The path ahead is a road of no return!"
Once she took this step, there would be no chance for regrets.
As her friend, Bronya still wanted to give her a reminder.
This time, Kiana didn't hesitate: "I've already decided! I can't let Mei be deceived by this bad guy's facade! I must expose his true colors in front of Mei and restore peace and order to the Valkyrie dorms."
The light of righteousness shone upon Kiana.
At this moment, Bronya felt an indomitable will in her, and a determination to fight for a better tomorrow.
In that case, since this girl had already made her decision, there was nothing more to be said.
"Since you've put it that way, how can I refuse you?"
Bronya stood up and had Project Bunny grab Kiana by the collar and lift her up.
"He's still in there. This is not the place to talk."
Kiana: "..."
Oh no! Doesn't that mean her grand plan just now was basically a loud conspiracy in front of Blondie?
The snow-haired girl's heart was filled with apprehension, and she fell into a state of depression.
Orz.
The cute Russian loli glanced at the depressed girl, went into the room to get the big idiot's homework, and then had Project Bunny move her to another room.
She, Bronya Zaychik, was a very professional wingman!
No matter the play, the knowledge, or the position, no matter which direction to push from...
Even if she was in charge of pushing butts, she was a master at it!
...
At night, Murata Himeko and Theresa were busy with work and didn't come back.
There were six dishes and one soup on the dining table. Including Kiana, the big eater who needed an extra six hamburgers for a late-night snack, it was just enough to eat.
"Dinner's ready, let's all sit down and eat."
The gentle girl untied the apron around her waist, exuding the air of a gentle and virtuous wife.
The seating arrangement was the same as usual, with no major differences.
Raiden Mei and Kiana sat together, while Bronya and Brian sat on the other side; the gluttonous white-haired fluffball, in order to prevent the detestable Blondie from defiling her personal cook, volunteered to sit opposite Blondie.
"Kiana, I made your favorite prawns. See how they taste today."
"Mhm, delicious!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was exceptionally harmonious. The snow-haired girl contentedly accepted the feeding from her personal cook, Raiden Mei.
However, with the calm dinner table as a dividing line.
In order to expose Blondie's true nature, Kiana's grand plan had already begun.
Her pink jade foot quietly slipped out of its cotton sock. The snow-haired girl leaned her upper body, blocking Raiden Mei's line of sight downwards, and then gently caressed the thigh of the only male present.
'Come on, flirt with me!'
...
